  • The Great Labyrinth of Egypt is one of the most famous lost monuments from our ancient past - a mythical structure, far larger than anything else built in Egypt, with thousands of chambers - it was visited and written about by several of history's most famous authors, the likes of Herodotus, Strabo, and Pliny the Elder. Flinders Petrie suspected he had hit on the remains of the labyrinth in the late 19th century, and only some 12 years ago in 2008, his work was confirmed when large parts of the labyrinth were rediscovered, next to the Hawara pyramid of Amenemhet III. This discovery was met with resounding silence, and today, whatever remains are of the labyrinth are being eroded by inaction, and the rising water table in the area. This is the story of the Egypt's great 'lost' labyrinth, it's history, modern re-discovery by the Mataha expedition, and possible future...

    I don't know why Hawass tries so hard to suppress this stuff, according to him its because 'no one else knows what they are talking about'.
    My theory is he is on someones payroll , someone who wants modern Egypt to be known as the descendants of the pyramid builders--when it is more likely modern Egyptians moved in after as nomads, and this info hurts someones feeling or wallet. Pride and greed often ruin things for everyone. Egypt is already an incredible tourist destination, and the people are so friendly that adding a more advanced tourism circuit and allowing truth to guide the narrative of modern Egypt could change things dramatically, and maybe Hawass' handlers don't want that.

    Finally! I had heard about this right after it happened in a news article and thought "man, I can't wait to see what kind of amazing things they discover here in the next few years". Fast forward a few years later and there's no new discoveries, nothing to report, and I couldn't even find any news articles about it. Fast forward another few years and I forgot what exactly they discovered, just that they discovered something so significant that it would rival the Pyramids themselves. Been driving me crazy for years, even more so since I started watching this channel, and now that unanswered mystery has been solved. You may not be solving the ancient world's mysteries with every video, but you sure solved the one that had me doubting my own memory and sanity LOL

I seen an almost identical pattern on a rock called "The Hemet Maze Stone". Nobody can explain where it came from, who made it and for what purpose but (if memory serves me correctly) it is part of some 200 other stones that are found threw out the whole southern part of the state and on down into mexico. The Hemet Maze Stone is found in/near the city of Hemet, California if you wanna do a google search it comes right up. I even think that I posted pics of my trip to it on my google profile. I think that its worth checking it out at the least. let me know what you find out or if you want to see my pics of it. Good luck.

      1500 rooms to a level? 90 steps from one level to the next? Do you think that only the top level was deconstructed in the past? 2 levels? The entire structure down to the foundation?

      I used to watch Mrbmbb333 until I realized that he was connecting things that were unrelated. He is a discredit to valid alternative research in my experience. Want an example or five? If you watch him, I am sure you know what I mean. Lets see...Faded license plates are not proof that the sun has gotten brighter in Arizona. It was an actual run of new style plates that was the problem. I watched that vid of his and researched the subject for myself. Took 5 minutes. He makes supposed "evidence" fit his current topic. He is NOT a researcher. He is willfully dishonest, or else he believes everything he proposes. That takes away any credit from any valid statement or finding he makes. Not good. His approach is not one of open question, but of already having it all figured out and making the pieces fit.

    I get so excited when I find a notification from you about a new video. This one is amazing! I had no idea that something like this even existed! What a find and what a disappointment that it hasn't been able to go further. I loved your quotes from ancient historians, as well as Petrie's writings. What a conscientious and thorough explorer he was. Don't you just wish you could have had a conversation with him or accompanied him on his explorations? I'd like to recommend to you and your viewers a video I saw recently by a pair of historians in the U.K. who call their channel, "The Prehistory Guys". They remind me so much of your open minded questioning of antiquity and your thoroughness to detail. They spent 8 years making their documentary of "Standing With the Stones" about all of the thousands of megalithic structures in the British Isles. Though over two hours long, it is well worth watching. The photography is stunning and they actually visited almost every site in the UK which extends well beyond what I even knew about the variety and abundance of megalithic sites. One of the comments they make often in the film is the problem of being able to accurately date a site. Because so many megalithic sites have existed for thousands of years more than we can even imagine, they have been re-occupied, built over, altered and incorporated in later sites so often that even when organic material is found, it may only be from one of the re-occupations and not the original builders. Also, they state that though archeologists want so much to give a purpose or reason for the structure, there is no way from our modern perspective that we can even guess the purpose and how it was built. (as you have said, many times!). Here is the URL for this fascinating video and another intriguing channel for open minded people who love prehistory. ruclips.net/video/Iq4xM8TLWc0/видео.html

      Either Hawass rules with an iron fist, or his associates are even more short sited than him. Opening up Egypt to excavate and unearth this, obvious, lost ancient advanced early "Egyptian" civilization (be they the survivors of Atlantis, or whatever) could bring tourism and wealth to this country at a never before seen level. Why is he so enamored with the Dynasties? He knows they didn't build any of this...but earlier Egyptians did. It really make no practical sense.

    My friend, I worked on the Olympic Dam expansion project in South Australia. We were going to dig out the biggest open pit mine on earth. The site would have been the size of an entire city. To do this we had to lower the water table. How you do this is place a circular ring of boreholes. These then pump the water out. Not cheap, but could definitely be done to protect the labyrinth AND maintain agricultural water supply to Egypt farmers. The pumped out water can be channelled overground to ensure agricultural water is provided to farmers.

We dive, and what we found...is beyond any words man has come up with. The entrance is quite far from the Pyramid itself, the intention was not originally archaeological, but the more we dove the more canisters we realized we needed next time. The more canisters we brought the more we realized we needed to bring, and on and on.

    Thank you,that was - as always - fascinating💥👊💯. Having spent much time in Egypt during the time of Sadat (my father being a friend)and more recently over the last 30 year,one quickly realises that THE ONLY THING that counts/matters ,as far as the present occupiers/owners of what we now call Egypt,is MONEY. Be it from tourism,generated by licenses for media production and most beneficial, blackmarket sales of antiques. The current occupiers of the country have created a narrative that gives them omnipotent control over everything. The spurious enforcement that they are guardians of their "ancecstors" achievements. Hawass, whose meretricious ego,can not be underestimated, simply keeps a file of projects - funded & carried out by others - ,which,he oversees & prioritises - exclusively - to his own advantage. Hence his current involvement in a project to "discover" the tombs of Cleopatra & Anthony. A woman who though world famous was simply the last of a Greek dynasty,at the end of 3/5 thousand years of the countries history & her Roman paramour, of course it's interesting,but,it's NOT ANCIENT EGYPT!?!
    I understand why it's imperative that excellent researchers,like your good self do NOT,under any circumstances comment on the Hawass/Department of Antiquities; it's politics, if you do you'll loose ALL access to the country and ANY chance of further investigation. As for us,the hobbiests & interested amateurs, it's obvious from any average comment section,under any video attempting to quantify any narrative other than the one being pushed by the Egyptian authorities, that we've decided who to blame for lack of progress - Hawass - and yes,a vast amount of blame can be fairly laid at his feet,but, why don't we attack Mark Lehner, amongst others AND THE ENTIRE CORRUPT SYSTEM? Both men,though they adamantly deny it ,now,had/have connections to a strange foundation based on the ideas of Edgar Case! It was through this that Lehner managed to gain total control,along with his mate Hawass,over the Sphinx project,not bad for a man who first went to Egypt, as a 'student' - of nothing at that time,just with connections to the Case foundation! Today,he's the Head of The Giza Mapping Project & holds ENORMOUS power over pretty much anything to do with Egypt, it's his insistence that the ENTIRE Giza Necropolis was built in a span of 85 years and he is still the ONLY person who has had access to The Sphinx & produced the ONLY known scale map! Check out their involvement in Hawass's US degree,which he of course denies.
    The Government is about to open the BIGGEST museum in the World,dedicated to its own agenda AND YET ONLY One to Five percent of the estimated sites of interest in the whole country have ever been actually explored. It has been estimated that over 70 million mummies were created (a VERY conservative figure),at one point they were ground up as an ingredient for paint,amongst other desecrations. The reality being that the government simply has ZERO interest in wastng money digging up more evidence that the people responsible for the WONDERS OF ANCIENT KEMET/KMT (which means people of the black land,the rich soil created by the annual flood of the River Ar/Aur,which we now know as the Nile),were NOT the people who inhabit the country today AND CERTAINLY DO NOT FOLLOW THE IDEOLOGY OF THE CURRENT STATE RELIGION! This amazing Labyrinth is just one of MANY THOUSANDS of wonders still to be discovered. www.dw.com/en/ancient-egypt-holds-priceless-treasures-yet-to-be-discovered/a-46849762. Your channel is superb and your videos & erudite narration among the very best out there. I can understand yours & others frustration at the lack of progress - particularly when there is good science backing up the reason to explore further - the sad reality,is that ,with no thanks to the like of Hawass,Lehner and the so called Department of Antiquities, nothing further is going to get done,that might pop their collective bubble of belligerence, particularly if it might prove or certainly question their fatuous narrative! Very best wishes to you,yours & anyone who's kindly read this far;apologies for any mistakes in my dyslexic rant😀👋🌟✌
